What is DNA?
The 2 parts of the X-shaped chromosomes have this "sibling" name
What is sister chromatids?
This anchors the mitotic spindles.
What are centrioles?
The cell is growing, replicating its DNA and preparing for cell division.
What is interphase?
What is the term used for the eukaryotic cell division process?
What is mitosis?
DNA replication occurs during this phase.
What is the S phase (Synthesis phase)?
The cells splits during this stage.
What is Cytokinesis?
During this stage, the nuclear membrane reforms
What is telophase?
The three main parts of the cell cycle.
What is Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis
These are the 3 stages of interphase, in order.
What is G1, S, and G2?
These are the thread-like structures that become microscopically visible in the cell nucleus as distinct x-shaped entities after DNA is replicated?
What are chromosomes?
Sister chromatids line up at the equator of the cell.
What is metaphase?
In this mitosis stage, the chromosomes move toward to the poles of the cell
What is anaphase?
An apparatus of microtubules that resemble strings that controls chromosome movement during mitosis
What are spindle fibers?
Growth, Reproduction, Repair, Replacement, Differentiation.
What are the benefits of Mitosis?
The term for DNA that is wound/coiled together with proteins in their least condensed state before condensing into chromosomes
What is Chromatin
The G2 checkpoint.
What is mutations in DNA after replication and final prep for cell division.
If a chicken has 82 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have at the end of mitosis?
What is 82?
This many cells arise from a single cell after the completion of mitosis and cytokinesis?
What is two cells?
One has a nucleus, the other lacks a nucleus.
What is the difference between a Eukaryotic cell and a prokaryotic cell?
The area where spindle fibers attach to chromosome
What is the centromere?
These are the 4 stages of mitosis? (in order)
What is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophases?
during which stage of the cell cycle do the replicated chromosomes thicken and become visible
What is prophase?
This is the thing that forms between 2 PLANT cells during cytokinesis
What is a cell plate
What is the end result of mitosis?
What is to create two identical daughter cells?
